←Recommendations of B.E.A.U.T.Y.

A female forward post-singularity genesis story with a dramatic good vs. evil imbroglio. I can't wait to see it staged! Bravo!

B.E.A.U.T.Y. is an artificial life form created to preserve the uniquely human concept of beauty in a post-apocalyptic world. Following the death of her creator, B.E.A.U.T.Y. embarks on a harrowing journey through a hellish landscape known as the wasteland. This cleverly crafted piece by Brent Alles, has been written explicitly for the stage, and contains a surprisingly substantial amount of humanity despite its dystopian setting. This play would be relatively easy to produce and could provide a distinctive opportunity for designers interested in science fiction.

I'm always happy to see sci-fi brought to the stage and B.E.A.U.T.Y by Brent Alles is a gem. Featuring a newborn android, separated from her creator and trying to find her way in a harsh, new world, this feels like a robo-retelling of the Book of Genesis. If you're putting together an evening of sci-fi one-acts and have a costume designer who's looking for a chance to flex their skills, this should definitely be on your radar.

A science fiction folktale?! Just brilliant! For a play about artificially intelligent robots, this one act sure has a lot of humanity at its heart. Special shout out to Ever Ready- who may just be my favorite robot in all theatre canon. Well done!

A lovely, absorbing end of days parable that deals head on with the well-worn theme of good verses evil in a fresh, engaging way. And I am amazed that Mr. Alles was able to endow each of the "robots" (if you will) with such nuanced character. As well as with humor. And ablomb. Nicely done!

This is a folktale/faerie tale masquerading as a sci-fi play. A classic morality play performed by robots. And audiences will be super engaged in the well-being of the child. I know I want to know what happens after THE END! This feels like the beginning of a popular series!

Brent Alles engages the audience in philosophical topics through a beautiful and poetic exploration of humanity in an end-of-the-world setting. Fans of science fiction are sure to appreciate the well crafted environment along with the excellent individualized voices of the AI characters.

B.E.A.U.T.Y. is a very interesting and thought-provoking one-act regarding the future of AI in a possible apocalyptic scenario. Brent Alles effectively uses a setting that evokes an expectation of a gentle and humorous romp with a couple of cute robots. He then turns the tables on us to have a serious moment or two. Surprisingly emotional and very well done.

A surprisingly deep One Act play--we think we're in for post-apocalyptic cartoony fun, but things quickly take a serious turn at the midpoint reveal. This show will leave audiences thinking about what makes us human, in our ugliest and our most beautiful.
